What elements besides uranium plutonium and hydrogen can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs?
Other elements that can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs include beryllium, lithium, and thorium. These elements are used in the production of certain types of nuclear weapons to enhance their yield and efficiency.
Which two elements were used to produce the atomic bombs?
The key elements to making fission bombs are: Uranium and Plutonium. The specific isotopes of interest are: Uranium-233, Uranium-235, and Plutonium-239. But many other elements are needed to make a functional bomb. As a very rough guess, about a quarter of the elements on the periodic table are needed somewhere in the bomb, roughly 23 different elements in total.
What element was used to make a atomic bomb?
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
Why is the hydrogen atom used for nuclear bombs?
because it is small is fusable and fissable. Further answer It's not used for all atom bombs. In fact the first ones weren't. Uranium and plutonium were the elements used. They were fissile, i.e. capable of sustaining a chain reaction when they split into other elements. More recently hydrogen was used but this time is fuses to form another element (helium) with a very large release of energy.
What elements was used in the atomic bombs?
The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II used uranium-235 and plutonium-239 as their primary elements. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) used uranium-235, while the bomb dropped on Nagasaki (Fat Man) used plutonium-239.

What kind of elements are in nuclear bombs?
In World War 2 the Nuclear bombs were Uranium and Plutonium. Nowadays they use Hydrogen.

Was fusion the type of bomb the us used for nagasaki?
The bombs used on Nagasaki and Hiroshima were both fission bombs, not fusion bombs.

What bombs were used at pearl harbor?
torpedoes and dive bombs
Is magnesium used for bombs?
Magnesium, white phosphorus, and jellied gasoline (napalm) are the typical fuels in conventional incendiary bombs. They are not used in conventional high explosive bombs or in nuclear bombs.
